Absorbers For Military Aerospace & Electromagnetic Interference Mitigation For Military - Techni3 Ltd

 

Protection for Protectors

Complex, highly sensitive aerospace and defence electronics must perform flawlessly, every time, and often in extreme environments across land, air and sea. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) is an unending device, systems performance and security issue. So too is degraded signal integrity, heat, vibration and shock.

You need answers early and access to advanced and reliable protective materials when designing aerospace and defence electronic systems.

For decades, techni3 laird performance materials has delivered to the aerospace and defence industry a broad array of high-performance shielding materials. Laird™ grounding solutions. RF/microwave absorbers. Inductive components. Some of the industry’s highest performing dielectric materials. And more advanced materials.

Review several device teardowns for detailed look at the performance materials enabling and protecting aerospace and defence electronics. Learn more about Laird’s capabilities and solutions, and uncover innovations for aerospace defence applications in these brochures:

Major defence contractors are Laird customers.

Aerospace

Custom solutions from Laird enhance survivability, reduce signal interference, improve thermal management, and help ensure long-term reliable performance of electronics on fifth-generation fighter jets, missile systems, UAVs, refueling tankers, satellites, and more. For example:

Laird uses its materials database, advanced modeling and simulation, and particle research capabilities to develop materials that perform reliably across a wide range of frequencies – from low frequencies under 500 MHz to the standard communications band to frequencies in the 1-35GHz range, and to millimeter wave frequencies up to 90 GHz.

Our line of fluorosilicone elastomers, thermal insulators and microwave absorbers can withstand extremely high temperatures, and exposure to jet and missile fuel. These products help design engineers combat electromagnetic interference and improve the reliability of critical survivability components and electronics housed near jet engines. 

 

We serve the multifaceted needs of engineers working on electronics systems on satellites. New silicone and silicone-free thermal interface materials resist outgassing. Our precision metals solutions help engineers manage electromagnetic interference solutions and improve device structural integrity within enclosures.

Using robust mechanical design capabilities, Laird designs custom electrically conductive elastomers which perform key structural and electromagnetic interference mitigation roles aboard aircraft of all types. 

Our rigorous measurement, testing, modeling, and simulation capabilities help enable innovations in responding to the evolving needs of design engineers developing next-gen aircraft.

Defence Communications

Enhance communications in challenging environments ranging from desert battlefields to rough seas. Laird solutions improve the performance and reliability of communication technologies, including vehicle-to-vehicle, command-and-control, battlefield surveillance, and ground troop communications.

Communications systems can be subjected to extreme shock and vibration. We put precision metals solutions (from board-level shields to component housings) through rigorous testing to ensure reliable performance in the most rugged environments.Further, as heat loads increase within electronics enclosures, design engineers need heat-dissipating solutions enabling greater levels of thermal conductivity. Our thermal interface material innovations improve heat transfer and aid the reliable performance of military communications systems.

Electronic Countermeasures

Deploy Laird solutions to minimize signal interference from broadband and high-powered radar jammers and isolate antennas in sensitive direction-finding systems.

For example, antenna-to-antenna interference can present significant challenges. Wherever broadband electronic warfare equipment operates near communications or radar systems, system performance can degrade severely. The addition of absorber barriers between conflicting systems can solve these problems. We design absorber housings to surround the antenna, which minimize antenna sidelobes and enhances equipment performance.
